Girl Talk Inc

Girl talk camp is an immersive, week-long summer day camp for 4th-12th grade girls that offers leadership development through interactive activities, facilitated workshops led by women from diverse backgrounds, and engaging community service projects. Girl talk camp promotes social- emotional learning (sel), confidence, creativity, collaboration, and community-building, while celebrating the girl experience. Our peer-to-peer mentorship model is highlighted throughout the week at girl talk camp, with 9th-12th grade girls serving as camp counselors. Girl talk camp counselors gain opportunities to refine their leadership, mentorship, and facilitation skills, while campers discover their leadership potential and find their voices. Our dedication to eliminating barriers to leadership is reaffirmed at girl talk camp, wherein over 50% of campers attend through full or partial scholarship.

Girl talk's ambassador program is for high school leaders from across the country, selected annually for their passion and commitment to girls' leadership development. Ambassadors serve as advocates for girl talk, representing the organization in their communities. They play a crucial role in promoting our peer-to-peer mentoring programs, shaping the future of girl talk, and supporting our development efforts. Through virtual meetings throughout the school year, ambassadors engage in leadership and confidence challenges, provide feedback on girl talk programs and resources like the girl talk curriculum, and foster community building. They also carry out mission-centered work in their local communities by supporting girl talk fundraising initiatives and collaborating with the girl talk communications team to create impactful, digital content, newsletters, and the girl talk blog. Girl talk ambassadors gain access to college scholarships and professional development opportunities, including interview experience, mentorship, and narrative writing. Girl talk ambassadors highlight their personal experiences as girl talk program participants and offer youth-driven insights into the joys and challenges of adolescence. Their diverse regional and cultural perspectives amplify the voices of girls and ensure that girls remain at the heart of everything that we do. Girl talk ambassadors act as both advocates and liaisons, increasing awareness of the organization and championing the impact of girl talk programs, both locally and nationally.
